Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to kilometers is 0.0001, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.0001 kilometers:

1 dm = 0.0001 km

To convert 5370 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5370 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 0.0001 km

5370 dm → L_(km)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in kilometers:

L_(km) = 5370 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.537 km

The final result is:

5370 dm → 0.537 km

We conclude that 5370 decimeters is equivalent to 0.537 kilometers:

5370 decimeters = 0.537 kilometers

Alternative conversion
